Facebook Scam/Virus: This Is Why You Shouldn’t Eat Fast Food

As any of our regular readers will know we have been reporting more recently on some of the things that you need to look out for on Facebook in terms of virus, malware and scams. Recent reports include the Facebook Dislike button, the verify your Facebook account and another where it tells you that you can see who has been peeping at your account.

Today we have another Facebook scam/virus post that’s going around that says “This is why you shouldn’t eat fast food.” We saw it originally on facecrooks.com where they are also reporting on some of the dangers of the post and what it can do to you and your Facebook friends so in a bid to stop it in its tracks we want to raise awareness of it and take some preventive actions to stop the spread.

The post claims to show you a video about McDonalds saying that you may want to think again before eating from their franchise again in what they say is a shocking video prompting you to click on the link. This is another example of being careful what you click on, as soon as you have hit the link your virus blocker should come up with an access denied image as enclosed in their post is a link to a Trojan virus.
